Pirate Day

Pirate Day for KS1 was a great success! All three classes enjoyed being part of Mary Read’s crew. (Mary Read was a female pirate from the eighteenth century). Captain Mary had the motley pirate crew doing the kinds of jobs that pirates would have done onboard ship.

The children became carpenters, cooks, dish-washers, swabbers, surgeons, topmen and loblollies. Your children will tell you all about their jobs and the voyage to discover Captain Kidd’s golden treasure. Here are some of your children’s comments:

“The pirate quest was awesome!” … “We liked pretending to do all the different jobs.” … “I enjoyed looking for the treasure chest and seeing Captain Read trying the keys to open the box.” … “The coins inside were chocolate!”
